Paramecium in polarised light

[hkv]

I shot this Paramecium in polarised light. Individually picked by a micro pipette to clean water for rinsing and then individually picked again and put in a clear water drop to remove all possible debris. 10X and 20X objectives was used. The last half was filmed in 120 frames per second to get a "slow motion" effect.

Love It !! It's like watching bumper cars at the fair

Also, your dual-lighting post was excellent - and very inspiring.

Thank you all! Yes, agree about the bumper cars! Paramecium have a collide-backoff-new direction strategy. Just like bumper cars at a tivoli.
